Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole induced rhabdomyolysis.

Empiric antibiotic usage is very common in clinical practice and Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) is one such antibiotic used extensively in primary care practice. Some patients experience serious adverse effects to the antibiotics that markedly increase the morbidity and the cost of medical care. We describe one such patient, a previously healthy 40-year-old Hispanic female who developed myositis and rhabdomyolysis secondary to TMP-SMX. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of TMP-SMX-induced rhabdomyolysis in an immunocompetent host.
